LED Descriptions

The module and port LEDs provide dynamic indications of the status of the module 
and ports. The LEDs can be in various states and can change color depending on the 
operational status of the module or port and the level of activity on the network. 

Module LED States

The module’s LEDs can be in various states (off, on, or flashing) and can change color 
depending on the operational status of the module or the level of activity on the 
network. 

Table A-1 shows the states that are possible for each of the module’s LEDs.

Table  A-1: Module LED States
